Ah, yes yes, I think it does. So. Here's the deal. Friday night, grandfather gets wicked sick, and refuses to go to the hospital. So sick he can't move, and the dumb ass will not go to the hospital no matter what the hell's happening. So, finally, yesterday, around 8:30 PM, grandmother gets fed up with his shit and decides for him, that indeed, he is going, come hell or high water. She calls an ambulance, and the following ensues. They get him to the hospital, give him a Cat scan, find the problem, (it's a perforated ulcer.) They're keeping him in the ICU. Today, in my rush to get out of the house with everything going on, I leave my wallet sittin' on my dresser, an hour and a half away from here. I'm here all week. I have no cash, no ID, no debit card, no insurance cards, no fucking anything. I deserve 1. A good swift kick in the ass, and/or 2, a fucking vacation. Oy, vey.

My goodness. Don't be so hard on yourself. You had alot of things going on and they were all bad. I hope things get better and that you're able to get your stuff. Most of all, I hope your grandfather gets well soon. Some people are just plain stubborn.

Ouch that's rough, but like the last poster, don't beat yourself up. U had a lot on your mind at the time. I'm sure it'll all work out. Hope your grandfather gets well.

Woa! Well, I'd be really mad at myself too! But, like everyonelse has already said, you had a lot going on. Believe it or not, you really live through this. I know it may seem like a huge deal now, but later on, it'll seem pretty minor. Next time, carry a purse with all the essential things: wallet, makeup, cell phone, mp3 player, house keys. Put in the same place each time you get home, then just grab it when you leave. I hate leaving stuff I need at home.

Meh, it's called life. I can see why he didn't want to go to the hospital, I've been through that many of times. They never let you go. Don't let shit that has nothing to do with you bother you. Whether you worry about it or not, it's going to happen or it's not going to happen.

* sneezes*, bad kitty!

I agree with squiggles.

Not sure I understand squiggles. Stuff that has nothing to do with you? Grandfather, wallet, no cash, all seem pretty related to me. Perhaps I am missing sometihng though. Kitten, like most have said though try not to be so hard on yourself, you can't think of everything, all the time, and when you have things going on that affect you as much as having a close family member sick, then a little forgetfulness is more than understandable, don't you think? You also did the right thing too, in not keeping it in. The rant board is good for stuff like that. Good call on posting it here, as you can also get some encouragement that way too. Here's hoping for a better day for you soon.

Cheers,
Simon

Gee sorry about your Grandfather. Hope things go well for you and him. And, like others have said, don't worry, a little forgetfulness is acceptable in times of stress. Good luck, and my prayers are with you and your family.
